Chapter 452: Another Predicament

The sudden change of events was not expected by Jasmine and the others. For that reason, they were completely unprepared for this. But even then, Jasmine reacted by controlling the territory.

She immediately organized for a group of people to go over and take care of the expanding wall. At the same time, the people that were still in that area began vacating, moving towards the center of the territory.

The only advantage that they had gained right now was the fact that the distance between them and the sea had actually increased by more than three times. For that reason, they believed that even if a tsunami hit them, they would definitely not suffer heavy damages as compared to before the expansion of the world.

The expansion of the world happened all over. With that, many territories also experienced the same scene as the one that was happening within the territory in Crystal city.

The expansion of the world continued for more than 30 minutes before it finally stopped. At the time, the world had expanded by more than five times. So, it was clear that the distance between cities had been increased by a great margin.

But even then, people could not help but get a little excited about it. After all, this implied that the distance between them and the enemies who belonged to the other races had increased. For that reason, it was definitely going to take the members of the other races quite some time for them to be able to arrive at the territories that were owned by humans.

But of course, that was only applicable to those that were afraid of the members of the other races. But for the Domination Star territory, things were completely different. The transportation system that they had just been in the completion stage was destroyed by the expansion of the world.

Olivia could not help but feel a little disgruntled. The timing was definitely not the best for the expansion of the world. But even then, it was quite better that they had not yet finished everything to perfection, considering that if they had actually finished, they would have to start it all over again after the expansion of the world.

To construct the transportation system between Hillstown and Rosha, they had expanded a lot of resources. But even then, with the expansion of the world, Olivia believed that the resources that they would be able to acquire would definitely be higher.

But even then, there was another thing that she was worried about. That was the fact that the power of the members of the other races was definitely going to increase as several members of their own races would begin to descend into this world.

At the same time, she was worried about her family back in Lockwood city. Of course, with the expansion of the world, it was definitely going to take quite a long time for her to be able to get back to the city.

And right now, she had been left to be in charge of the two territories that were located within the two cities close by. Without Henry, it was definitely almost impossible for her to leave. It was a good thing that the communication between the two cities was not that bad. As long as she was not that far away from them, the communication would be restored.

It was just that the distance that she had to travel in order for the communication device to function had been increased.

Back in Crystal City, Jasmine continued preparing herself for the worst. And just as she had expected, the moment that the world stopped expanding, the sea began surging.

Then about 15 minutes later, the water began retreating. This was definitely supposed to be a good thing considering that the water was retreating, and many resources within the water were being revealed, and could be collected, but even then, Jasmine and the others understood that what was to come later on was definitely not something that they could laugh about.

But even then, Jasmine did not stop those who wanted to gain more from going ahead to pick the resources that had been revealed after the water receded. The resources that could be found within the water was definitely quite rare, considering that it was quite difficult to be able to deal with sea monsters within their own territory.

The water retreated for several miles. And the moment that Jasmine and the others noticed that, they immediately realized that the tsunami that was bound to come was definitely going to be intense.

But then suddenly, something unexpected happened once again. The sky that had already turned red suddenly began raining. There were no clouds in the sky, but even then, there was rain that was coming from the sky.

Nobody could understand what was going on. But thinking that this was the apocalypse and many things that had happened could not be explained at all, they thought that this was just another measure that was included in the descent of the fourth stage of the apocalypse.

But it was at that moment that they suddenly realized how wrong they were. The moment that a person was touched by the raindrops, they would immediately begin to be corroded by the rain. It was as if it was an acid rain. Additionally, the intensity of the acidity of the rain was definitely quite high.

Everybody experienced horror the moment that they realized that they were being corroded. Immediately, everybody reacted as they began looking for shelter from the rain.

It was then that they noticed that the rain was corrosive only to flesh, and not to other inorganic materials and plants. With that, those that had hidden and had not been touched by the corrosive rain were immediately saved.

As for those who had been touched by the corrosive rain, they only saw their flesh being corroded, and it began rotting. Immediately, several people reacted by taking healing potions. It was only after they had done that the day began preventing the corrosion from spreading. But even then, the wounds that had been formed from the corrosion were not healed at all.

As for those that were extremely slow to react, or were not close to any place where they could take shelter, they were immediately corroded and their flesh rotted.

The most horrifying thing was what happened after the entire flesh on a human was corroded. Even the bones actually began melting under the power of the rain.

So in just a matter of about 5 minutes, those that had not taken healing potions were immediately melted into a black gooey substance that possessed a distinctive smell that was irritating to the nose.

Those who had experienced others being melted could not help but feel horror within their hearts. As for those who had already taken shelter and had also taken the healing potions, they could not help but feel relieved about how it was that they had managed to survive.

As for the wounds that they had suffered, compared to being melted to death, this was definitely nothing. But even then, as if afraid that they would also melt, they began taking healing potions in huge quantities.

Jasmine on the other hand could not help but possess a solemn expression. It might be true that the stock that they possessed of healing potions and many other things was quite high considering that Henry had done the purchases and the warehouse was full of it, but even then, it was definitely not going to be good if they continued wasting the potions like that.

With that, she immediately gave an order that a person was only allowed to take three potions. After that, if anybody was taking potions, the merits the they possessed would be reduced according to the number of potions that they had taken.

Of course Jasmine understood that it was impossible for her to be able to prevent everybody within the territory form taking potions. So, she could only make them pay for the potions that they already possessed in order to make sure that they did not simply consume them because they were feeling insecure.

The reason why she stopped them from doing that was simply because of the next predicament that was bound to come. That was the tsunami. With the tsunami coming, it was obvious that the sea monsters would be coming over as well, and there would be an intense fight at the same time that they would be resisting the tsunami waters.

At the time, they would definitely require the healing potions. So, it was better to save them, especially considering the fact that Henry could not be reached.

If the healing potions here were completely consumed, and those who possessed the light element did not have enough recovery potions to recover the energy in order to cast healing skills, it was definitely going to be catastrophic for the territory.

The rain was not like the other times where it was extremely heavy, and neither was there a storm. But even then, this was definitely the most dangerous rain that they had ever experienced in their lives.

It continued to rain for the next 30 minutes, before the rain finally stopped. It was a good thing that it did not rain that heavily to be able to form a flood. Otherwise, it would definitely be quite difficult for people to be able to move around with the flood.

The moment that the rain stopped, everybody all over the world cheered. They understood that one of the predicaments that they were supposed to face had already passed.

But the atmosphere was completely different in Crystal City and other territories that were located close to the sea, lakes or oceans. At this moment, from a distance, they could hear the sound of an approaching wave.
